Countries in the 2 Seas area (Belgium, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and France) are experiencing more impactful and extreme changes due to climate change. Together they are pro-actively preparing for challenges brought forth by this factor. The Polder2C's project gives opportunity to look at potential impacts of flooding and plan on a strategic, tactical and operational level for these effects. In order to do this the stakeholders need to know how strong the flood defenses are and how well the currently organized emergency response is organized in practice. This also gives opportunity to raise flood awareness among the general public and stakeholders for the possible impact of floods. Up until now these aspects have only been recreated in theoretical models.  
Climate change has been affecting countries in the 2 Seas Region (Belgium, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and France) more severely than expected. Extreme weather conditions that threaten the integrity of levees along the coast and the rivers are becoming more frequent and intense. Are flood defences safe enough, and how effective will emergency response be in case of a levee failure? How can the combination of flood defences and emergency response remain effective in light of the emerging circumstances? These questions are relevant to local stakeholders whose prosperity and wellbeing depend upon flood resilience.

Thirteen partners from the 2 Seas Region and more than thirty ‘observer’ organisations have come together to design, execute and evaluate a series of experiments on levee performance and emergency response in the Hedwige-Prosperpolder. This is a unique site of 6 km<sup>2</sup> that is currently being depoldered, allowing the development of a new tidal area. As a new levee is being built, the old levee and the land behind it will be used as a living lab for in-situ tests and large scale exercises.
The depoldering of the Hedwige- and Prosperpolder offers an unique living lab situation on which different tests can be performed to validate current flood defense strategies and emergency response. The aim of the project is to help the participating countries adapt to climate change through increased flood resilience and better emergency response, based on the outcome of test done in the Dutch and Belgium polder areas. To support the development of new strategies and organizational and operational plans through:
 
* Improving practical knowledge by testing, validating and demonstrating flood defense infrastructure and emergency response techniques and methods.
Polder2C’s places a great importance in transfer of knowledge to students and young professionals. The Living lab Hedwige-Prosper will accommodate events focused on education and will welcome students to participate in field activities. A levee winterschool, levee challenge and excursions are some examples of possibilities for the next generation to become actively involved in Polder2C’s.
* Educating and training young water professionals
 
* Offer a platform for knowledge and espertise exchange
* Improving collaboration between relevant stakeholders
* Exploiting the unique opportunity the Hedwige/Prosper polder poses maximally by performing a large amount of tests focused on filling in a gap of knowledge on flood defense strategies

|Summary=Climate change is heavily effecting Belgium and the Netherlands. With the depoldering of the Hedwige-Prosper Polder an opportunity for various stakeholder arises to test new methods of coastal protection. The aim of the Polder2C's project is to improve the capacity to adapt to climate change through increased flood resilience and emergency response for the different participating countries. It will also form a good opportunity for students to get involved in coastal protection experiments.
|Summary=Polder2C heeft tot doel de kennis over overstromingsbestendigheid en aanpassing aan de klimaatverandering van de huidige en toekomstige generaties te verbeteren. Dit wordt bereikt door een reeks experimenten met betrekking tot de stabiliteit van dijken en de effectiviteit van noodmaatregelen tegen overstromingen in de Hedwige-Prosper polder, een unieke landgrensoverschrijdende testlocatie van 6 km2 op de grens van België en Nederland. De in het veld verworven inzichten zullen worden verwerkt in internationale richtlijnen voor praktijkmensen en in onderwijscurricula. Het project biedt mogelijkheden voor studenten om betrokken te worden bij veldactiviteiten.

|SummaryEn=Polder2C’s aims at improving knowledge on flood resilience and climate change adaptation of the current and future generations. This is achieved through a series of experiments on levee stability and effectiveness of flood emergency countermeasures in the Hedwige-Prosper polder, a unique cross-country test site of 6 Km2 on the boarder of Belgium and the Netherlands. Insights acquired in the field will be incorporated in international guidelines for practitioners and in educational curricula. The project offers opportunities for students to be involved in field activities.
